Hi all
I think this is a very bad idea !
According to RFC 4627 [1]:
> An object is an unordered collection of zero or more name/value
> pairs, where a name is a string and a value is a string, number,
> boolean, null, object, or array.
Parsing the JSON and then storing in a defined order creates expectations which are not valid. There is no defined order amongst properties in an object and we must not create the impression that there would be and even start having applications depending on it.
Therefore I strongly suggest to revert this change and go back to using a HashMap.
Regards
Felix
